Japanese Chart for Week Ending 24th December 2006

The weekly chart covers everything, from hardware sales to individual game sales in Japan. From the peek into the next-gen catagory, Sony's system is the clear victor. Even in the 7th week after its launch, PS3 count reaches almost twice as Xbox360's in its 46th week.

Besides this, Sony's both current-gen platforms PS2 and PSP are still selling like hot-cakes, only lagging behind Wii and DS.

Could you at least keep your own opinions out of the post? Write it in the commentary section instead, it just looks sh!tty...

[specialguest]

damn... that DS has been scorching hot since a year ago and it seems like there's no stopping it. it seems like Nintendo is keeping Nintendo alive and well, meaning most of the platnium sellers are games made by Nintendo. the Wii is also showing huge software numbers too. FINALLY, Nintendo the former king of consoles is back on track. now where's that sequel or remake of Act Raiser?

[oke]

That's a bit of an understatement. To declare a clear victor yet (Sony, anyways) is also a little premature.

[Witewunder]

it would have been a little more accurate to say only slightly ahead of XBox 360 and GBA.

[NextGen24Gamer]

The number one selling hand held is the DS

The number one selling next gen game is Blue Dragon.

This is all in Japan. The 3rd largest market in gaming. With the USA first and Europe 2nd.

Nintendo OWNS Japan big time this time around. The Wii is perfect for that market. Good Job Nintendo...you dethroned your home grown competitor in the video game industry in your territory.

... and you know that. As Reggie himself declared at E3 to the press that if you're here for next-gen, this isn't the place...so why the f**k are you implying that Wii is next-gen ? Wii is only 3 times powerful than PS2. In this way...

[Bhai]

as only PS3 and X360 are the only next-gen machines out there, and PS3 has sold twice as 360 in only 7 weeks as 360 has sold in 55 weeks, such a shame for MS, they couldn't make it this time too. Hah !!!

[LuminousAphid]

How is the PS3 the clear victor with 9.1% when the Wii has nearly three times as much at 25.8%? Do you have some sort of problem with your brain?

[Tempo]

He just can't see around his sony fanboy blinders

[eques judicii]

the 360 sold over 30k again... amazing!!!!

i know its being trounced by everything else... but its doing remarkably well considering...

[Mikey_Gee]

Some folks are CONSUMED with what is better and why what he or she has MUST BE THE NUMBER ONE spot and all other are garbage in comparison.

GET A LIFE .... go and play your console and move the fuk on.

Man, some folks are so shallow and narrow minded FOR REAL !!

==================

Oh wait ... I hear the 360 is far more popular than the PS3 since 80 out of every 100 people asked prefered the color white over the color black.

GET MY DRIFT .... grow up !!!!

[f1r3waII K1LL3r]

The DS is the equivalent of an Ipod in the US judging by the way its selling

[Shadow Flare]

Gotta hand it to Japan, they love Nintendo

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

forgot to include the wage for who gives a f#ck about what happens in Japan, I believe thats 99.99825% black one!

[Bhai]

...and Wii isn't. In the next-gen consoles comparison, PS3 is superbly ahead of 360 as it has been sold almost twice as much units in only 7 weeks of its launch as 360 has sold in 55 weeks...such a shame. PS3 IS THE CLEAR VICTOR as a NEXT-GEN machine.

Wii is not a next-machine, as Nintendo itself has called it a current-gen machine, only three times powerful than PS2 and with newer outlook on gaming. In the current-gen comparison, obviously, both DS and Wii has sold the best this week, but yeah in next-gen, its only PS3 to rule.

TopGamer a.k.a. the realdeal(HaHaHa) who doesn't even know why next-gen is next-gen, and that 360 is great only because it can read from smaller files(HeeHee !!!) could not differentiate b/w wii and next-gen machines, that's why he writes self-embarracing comments in every PS3 related news !

[Lucidmantra]

PLease STFU. It is obvious you are an idiot. PS3 is outselling 360. Just relax and remember the 360 is STILL the best selling newgen console on the market ;) Also you can continue to live in your little world but in the world 90% of the rest of us live in The Wii is a next-gen console. WHY? You said it yourself. It is 3 times more powerful than a PS2. That qualifies it as NEWGEN! Please tell mommy to reduce your internet time until you learn how to have a rational thought.

[Harry]

Um unless Piecharts work diferently in your world... It seems that the Wii and DS occupy 3/4 of the sales.

So how is the PS3 the 'victor'?

Also you cant discount the Wii as not being 'next-gen' just because Nintendo dont try to show off their E-penis by shoving as much high-spec stuff in a console as possible.

[Puck]

Will you guys shut the F up already.

[Hey Zeus]
